"All memories and thoughts are the union of emptiness and knowing, the Mind.Without attachment, self-liberating, like a snake in a knot.Through the qualities of meditating in that way,Mental obscurations are purified and the dharmakaya is attained."

It is definitely some Red Tara/Kurukula, but i don´t know which lineage.

Drikung Red Tara from Terton Osel Dorje is seated and holds a hook in upper right hand, bow string in lower right hand, lotus flower in upper left hand and bow in the lower left. In her mandala there is Kurukulle, red Jambhala, red Ganapati and red Mahadeva.

Thanks for the input so far. It was painted by some friends of mine for a Nyingma ngakpa lama, according to a text he provided, but then he never picked up the finished product. So we are trying to figure out exactly which mandala and lineage this is from.

Dzoki, if the image of the Drikung Red Tara you describe above is the same as the one with which I'm familiar, a figure is seated cross-legged in the upper right corner, wearing red and gold robes and with a hand on each knee. Do you know if this is the terton Osel Dorje or some other person? Thanks.
